Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 358
[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 358]
“Your injury healed?”
“I’m sorry for you, it has recovered.” Maximian was beheaded by Enzo before, but now he is fine. “Thank you for your assistance at that time.”
“It’s nothing.” Thinking back on it, it was also a mess.
“It’s just that I shoulder the will of His Majesty the Emperor. Next, I have to take the attitude of handling official affairs.”
“You are the emperor’s messenger, it’s normal.”
Verana looked at the clothing of the imperial soldiers curiously. They were uniformly equipped and had very special helmets. There was a cluster of red long tassel on the top, hanging down towards the rear. They wore imperial fish scale armor, which were connected in series to protect the chest and abdomen. The skirt covers the knees, the shin guards and boots are made of iron, and a leather cloak is worn to keep out the cold.
She was very interested in the red hair on the soldier’s helmet. It was probably the first time she saw such a beautiful mane on a human head, and she licked her fingers with eager eyes.
The two soldiers exchanged glances. One of the soldiers took off his helmet and lent it to Verana to play with. As soon as she got it, she grabbed the crown on the helmet and tried to pull it out.
“The little princess is so energetic,” said Maximian.
Verana couldn’t take it out for a long time, her eyes flashed with variegated light, and she pulled the long tassel out of the vertical tube on the top of the helmet.
Everyone present heard a piercing tearing sound.
“…” Maximian looked at Verana, who was jumping with excitement because of the toy, and was stunned for a while, “…innate strength.”
“I’ll pay,” Charles said.
“A wisp of crown tassels is not enough for His Highness Grani to worry about.” Maximian said quickly, “It’s just that I have heard of similar scenarios. The future of the little princess is limitless.”
“How to say?”
“Maybe it’s an illusion, but at that moment, it seemed that the power of Xiaguang resided in the little princess.”
“That’s the real deal.”
“And the power of His Highness Grani is definitely not low. Ah, I have a deeper understanding of His Highness’s mighty power. This deepens our determination to be friendly with His Highness.”
“How to show it?”
“We brought tons of grain, clothing, tools and lumber, which were piling up beyond the border, and as soon as we reached an agreement, they would be brought into Loman quickly.”
Without the material assistance provided by the Empire, people would be killed by the winter before the spring ploughing, and there would be no future without food.
“What do you want?”
“For a person like you, any gift seems trivial. Your little help can change the future of a region or even a country. Our dozens of trucks of goods are of great significance, but your kindness is the real priceless treasure. We hope that we can exchange it for one of your favors.”
I see.
Need my “service”.
If you agree, the most important food and clothing expenses during this period can be solved, which can greatly alleviate the urgent need of material shortage.
But this also means getting involved in the affairs of the Yamanei Empire. Who knows what they want my favor?
I am now a demigod, a demigod of human affection, no wonder he is so serious.
I can’t rashly agree, I have to be cautious.
Maximian smiled, wondering what good things were in his mind. His beard was neatly shaved, and his hair was carefully groomed. He was combed back and smoothed, and he was smeared with oil. Now he wears luxurious brocade clothes with olive leaf buttons on his chest.
He was fully prepared before visiting the manor, and he must have his feelings for my people.
“Wait.” Charles said
“What?” Maximian wasn’t quite sure.
“I’m sorry.” Rocher walked into the living room, “Welcome, the imperial messenger from afar, Rocher of Gloomy Castle greets you.”
“I am Maximian of the Empire.” He stood up and shook hands with Rocher.
“You are quite fluent in Loman for an Imperial.”
“If you want to give him someone, learn his language first,” Maximian said.
“The words have reached, and the wishes can be achieved.” Rocher also responded in proverbs.
“Even if she has not yet been crowned, she is the queen of Upper Loman.” Charles told Rocher about Maximian’s terms.
“My territory urgently needs such supplies,” Rocher said. “But Your Excellency Charles will not rush to go beyond the borders, let alone intervene in the affairs of other countries. You should consider other conditions.”
“Besides this, what else can Shang Luoman satisfy us?”
“Gold,” said Rocher.
Maximian smiled, trying to hide his contempt under years of micro-expression training, but Charles caught it nonetheless.
“We are not short of gold. The Empire is a very rich and powerful country. The only thing that can impress us is the power of Lord Charles.” Maximian emphasized.
“We are willing to do business with your country at normal prices,” Rocher said.
“But are the merchants willing to travel thousands of miles into Loman? They are frightened by the rumors of demons,” Maximian said.
“Your Excellency Shire can guarantee that the devil’s scourge will not affect the normal life and trade of the residents.”
“If you want me to say, there is no one more timid than the merchants of the empire.” Maximian took his time slowly, “A little rumor can make them scared.”
“But…” Rocher wanted to say something else, and Ciel waved his hand to signal her to stop talking for the time being.
“Do you want dinner?” Charles asked.
“You can have dinner anytime. Your Excellency Charles, our conditions are already very good. What are you still hesitating about?”
“Small profits are exciting, but long-term planning is more important.”
“It’s a really good insight, but, Your Highness Grani, don’t forget that the inhabitants of your country are still suffering from unimaginable poverty and hardship. If this situation continues, it will be uglier than a candle in the wind. ”
“Straight and harsh.”
“And it won’t be a pleasant experience. Hunger breeds violence, rule cannot be stable, and repression will only lead to a new wave of riots. If you don’t accept it, we can only leave with regret and re-evaluate Loman. The value of the country. Be rational, there are so many food supplies and many commodities, you only need a promise to exchange them all.”
“I don’t like being judged for me.”
“Then what can you do?” Maximian half-smiled.
“I’m sorry.” Dorothy pushed the door and came in. She looked around and saw Maximian, her eyes lit up, “It’s you.”
She walked to the edge of the low table, stretched out her fingers, and abruptly transformed into two short plush chairs out of nothing.
“Wow!” Verana clapped her hands and dropped the crown in her hand, “What’s going on!”
Seeing the heroic appearance of the goddess, Maximian couldn’t help getting up, bowing and bowing, and the soldiers around him also bowed down.
“My lord goddess.” Maximian said, “I heard that you have returned to Loman, but I didn’t expect to see you here. It’s my honor.”
“I’m still wondering why the emperor’s messenger came here.” Dorothy sat on the chair and made a furry puppy to play with Verana to attract her attention.
“How long have you lived in the Empire?” Ciel asked.
“Yes,” said Dorothy, “in order to avoid the troubles at home, I have lived in the Imperial Court for more than one hundred and seventy years, and I have stayed there for a long time.”
“That’s how it is.” Seeing Dorothy appear, Maximian was very settled, explaining the terms the empire wanted to reach, “…you have lived in the imperial court for a long time, and you know that our majesty is usually merciful, The accumulation of supplies is just in exchange for a promise, which will not have any negative impact at all, it is just a demonstration of the friendship between the two countries. However, even this extraordinary generosity should not be cherished, which makes me helpless. If you are the noble Goddess Dorothy, you must understand how valuable the goodwill of the Empire is.”
Maximian glanced lightly at Charles.
Charles remained calm.
“What,” said Dorothy, “it’s just a simple matter for you to open the granary and transport it to Loman. Listen to me, how many are sent to Loman, and don’t take a second. delayed.”
“But what His Majesty the Emperor meant…” Maximian was taken aback.
“When your emperor was young, I even spanked his ass. Now his hair is less than when he was born. Instead of worrying about this, it is better to worry about the gout in his knees.”
“You are obviously a friend of the empire. For two centuries, you have been almost a patron saint of the empire…”
“Although I have known you for a long time, I can only be happy when Grani is happy. This is settled. If you have any questions, report my name.” Dorothy said.
“…Yes.” Maximian glanced at Charles, “…What is your relationship with His Royal Highness Grani?”
“As strange as it sounds, I’m trying to be a lover.” Dorothy sighed.
“Forgive me.” Maximian stood up and greeted Charles.
“When transporting supplies, you can choose some toys, children like it.” Charles said.
“Yeah!” Verana was very happy.
“We will use gold to buy at market prices,” Rocher added. “Please let the traders not worry.”
“Yes.” Maximian was deeply annoyed and led people away.
Chapter 442 Frontier
Early in the morning, winter snow flutters.
“Today is the last day to accompany you.” Ciel embraced Verana and rode his anger to watch the imperial caravan cross the border.
“Ah?” Verana was wrapped in several layers of clothes, and only her face was exposed. She was soft and was holding the furry puppy in her arms. It showed its belly and was curious about everything.
“Let me think about what to do next,” Ciel said, combing his schedule. “First to go to the trial of Regmond, then to discuss the fate of Ines. Then to Sanwei Bay, hopefully the fishermen and the Alberta family. The people from the 2000s can join peacefully. Then go to Black Pine Castle and assist Ryder Valspain in defending the wizard. There may be some other work interspersed in the middle, but in general, it is still in this order, I hope everything goes well. Wait for it to be done These things should be able to crown Rocher, and then renew the hunter’s oath with Elijah and the others, and get on the right track. Finally, if my headaches get better… I will go to investigate the movements of the West. ”
“Dad can’t be with me anymore.” Verana was frustrated.
“The puppy will be with you. Give it a name,” said Charles.
“I’m going to call it Roches and kick it.”
“Critters are fragile, and Roches wouldn’t be happy if he knew about it. Why on earth do you hate Roches?”
“He’s fake.”
“Where’s the fake?”
“I can’t tell. If it doesn’t work, let’s name it after the person Dad hates. Is there anyone Dad doesn’t like?”
Someone I don’t like?
Ah, that must be…
A heroic face appeared in Ciel’s mind, which everyone liked when he saw it, and it was even more appealing to young girls.
“…call it Leopold,” said Charles.
“Okay, Leopold.” Verana teased the puppy in her arms.
“Actually, I never thought that Dorothy could turn into a living creature,” said Ciel.
“She’s amazing,” Verana said.
“This caused me to think deeper, can she use divine power to create people? The child who is infused with divine power and created will be very special. God should be qualified to create human beings. Many myths record that God created them. The original life, but now? It seems a bit unethical to create human beings now, because human beings already have the ability to raise offspring through the relationship between husband and wife, and do not need the help of God.”
